Unforgettable Night in the Perfect Dress!

Size worn: 2R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress is stunning. The fit was just right - I usually wear a 4R in dresses, but because this dress is looser around the hips and more fitted in the waist I also rented a 2R. The 2 fit perfectly, so make sure to rent a size smaller if you have a narrow waist. I was a bit nervous after reading reviews about the zipper... and the reviews were right on- it takes TWO people to zip the zipper. Someone has to synch the fabric together while another zips the zipper (it's pretty tough but it WILL zip!) The zipper is the only complaint I have about the dress. The top has a lot of support so I didn't need a bra and it stayed in place all night. Being 5'8" I was thinking about renting the dresses in 'long' but if you are around 5'7"-5'9" and plan on wearing 3-4 inch heels the regular is great! The dress still touched the ground and I wore 4 inch heels. I felt confident and happy in this dress because it fit like a dream. I also recommend wearing some red lip stick ;) xox

SO many compliments! I felt absolutely beautiful.

I wore this dress to military banquet. It fit perfectly except for the fact that it was a little long! The color of this dress is absolutely gorgeous. It is the perfect combination between classy and sexy! I highly recommend this dress for a wedding or a forma affair!

Beautiful fabric, runs large, runs long. Highly recommend

Size worn: 0R

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress runs large and long. At 5 foot 8 i wore a regular with 3 inch heels and the bottom just grazed the floor. Also as someone with a small bust who didn't want to be constantly pulling up her dress top all night, I was able to wear a size 0 when I normally wear a 2 or 4.
I was very impressed with the speed of shipping, this dress even came a day earlier than I had reserved it.
Overall, GORGEOUS dress. I wore this for my boyfriend's fraternity formal and received so many compliments. I highly recommend.

The dress was perfect!

Size worn: 4R

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Formal Affair

The dress was perfect for a business school holiday party. It was comfortable and easy to dance in. The color was amazing and I received numerous compliments on the dress. It was quite long so I wore pretty high heels but it didn't drag on the ground. The zipper was extremely challenging to work with (even when I wasn't in the dress) and it took two people to zip it up.

A Movie Star Dress

Size worn: 8R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

This was my first time renting from RTR but it definitely won't be my last. My dress was supposed to arrive on a Friday but due to a weather delay, the post office wasn't set to deliver my dress until the following Monday (AFTER my event!). I called RTR and they rushed me a dress that arrived the next morning by 9:30am. GREAT customer service too!
The dress was absolutely gorgeous! It fit like a glove and I received so many compliments on it. The color is so vibrant, it was nice to stand out in a sea of black dresses. The length wasn't a huge issue, I'm about 5'5 1/2" and wore about 3 inch heels and it skimmed the ground.
This was such a great experience. I can't wait for my next chance to rent from RTR :)

Received a lot of compliments

I was at a winter, black tie wedding, a lot of people were wearing black which is why I believe I received a lot of compliments. However, I did not feel as if I stood out, The dress fit great,very comfortable, and true to size

Dress is beautiful! Great quality, got lots of compliments!

Love that the dress didn't needed to be iron the packaging was perfect .

It fits gorgeous. Loved the color and length, but it does runs large I'm usually a size 2 and I wore a size 0R I'm 5'3'' and it was a bit long still I wish I would've order the petite . But over all I loved it.

The color was great for the winter black tie wedding I attended.

Size worn: 14R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

It fit and was not a true struggle to zip up but I didn't wear a bra with the dress and if I did I believe the the breast part would have fit better. Even though I am bigger at the top and smaller at the bottom I still needed a bigger size because how wide my back and waist is. The dress was pretty long as well. It is a great gown. The color is a true red.

The color was beautiful!

Size worn: 6P

Rented for: Other

After reading the reviews and everyone mentioned how long the dress was I decided to order the 6p... It was the perfect length for my at. 5'3" and some nice heels. I have recommended RTRW to a number of friends and I can't wait to have another event to attend to rent another beautiful dress.

The color was very beautiful! I also paired it with earrings from RTR as well.

Size worn: 14L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

The dress fit really well, and the fabric was comfortable and very forgiving. I received many compliments and the dress was definitely appropriate for a wedding. I am 5'8'' and wore nearly 4-1/2 inch heels, and the dress still skimmed the ground, so I would suggest going with the regular length if you are around my height and wearing flats or small heels. The dress fit well and I didn't feel like I had to tug at it all night, but there was definitely a little extra room in the bust in the front. The only issue I had with the dress was the zipper. It would get very stuck in one area (even when the dress was off) and it took my husband several minutes to pull it up.

Beautiful dress, I recommend it

Size worn: 6R

Rented for: Party

Everyone loved this dress & I received many compliments. The bust was very very tight! I thought the 4 would fit but I barely made it in the 6. It's also quite long, I'm 5'3", wore 5" heels & was still picking it up all night - I was afraid to rip it. Beautiful dress!

Great color for a winter wedding!

Size worn: 4L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I kept reading conflicting reviews on here about how long the dress was (some saying even the R was plenty long), so I ordered the 4L and 6R. I'm between 5'8" and 5"9 and the L was definitely necessary if you want to wear heels (I had on ~4" heels). I could have worn either the 4 or 6. The 4 looked a bit better in the way the bottom draped, but the 6 was a bit more comfortable. I ended up wearing for 4 for the style and the length. Overall, the dress was wonderful. The zipper tends to get stuck, but don't fret. Just be patient, squeeze the zipper, and it'll work itself out.

The only red dress in a room full of 300+ people. It definitely stood out!

Size worn: 4L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

I am 5'8", 145 lbs with a 32D (close to a 34C) bust. The 4L fit really well, as I have a small waist (27.5") and rib cage, and wore 3.5" heels. The boning was a bit out of shape, but overall it stayed up well.

This dress is so beautiful and flattering! The color is amazing! Love BM Gowns!!

Size worn: 4R

Rented for: Wedding

Fit is true to size. Everyone's previous comments were very helpful in selecting this gown. I was able to wear a strapless bra which is necessary for me to be comfortable in any dress. The dress is very long so be prepared to hold it up as you walk. I wore a short heel which was fine. Also the Zipper was terribly tough. Definitely need someone to help with that.
I truly love this dress and received so many compliments.
Thank you to everyone for writing reviews, that was extremely helpful!

Size worn: 2P

Rented for: Formal Affair

I ordered 2p and 4p. I usually wear size 4 but the 4p for me is a bit loose in the bust. The 2p fits better but I had trouble with the zipper and you really need people to help you zip it. Being only 5 foot, the dress runs really long and I find it hard to dance. So make sure you wear high heels if you're petite size like me. Overall, the dress is gorgeous and I super love its bright red color!!

Beautiful dress! I got so many compliments on it and it flowed so well and was easy to walk in :)

Size worn: 4P

Rented for: Formal Affair

I usually wear a 4 and I went with the petite since everyone had said it was too long. It fit well and didn't fall down at all throughout the night. I did have a hard time getting the zipper up though. It kept getting stuck wear the fabric direction changes so my Roomie had to come home to help me get dressed which was annoying. I did have to wear very high heels to make sure it didn't drag or didn't trip. Overall great dress :)

Beautiful color and great fit!

The dress was a little big in the bust. I had to use body tape all around my chest and back to hold it up. It fit perfectly everywhere else, and was the perfect length for me. I am 5'6" tall and wore two inch heels. Highly recommend!

Very comfortable.

Size worn: 10L

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Beautiful dress and so long! I probably should have worn one size smaller but it was a sit down dinner so I went for a little more room in the bodice since the last strapless I wore started to dig in badly while sitting. The color was wonderful and it was quite comfortable. It stayed up well!

Lady in red! I felt so great in this color. Red is the color of confidence and I sure felt it.

Loved feeling special in RED for my birthday dinner!

Size worn: 0R

Rented for: Party

The 0R for me was just right and really was form fitting. The 2R for me when I tried it on worked well too but was surprisingly made different than the size 0 with an odd bust line built-in bra. It made my chest look strange so I went with the 0. This dress is longer so wear heels! I loved the color and the dress!

Stunning dress

Size worn: 6R

Rented for: Wedding

Love, love , love this dress! I wore it to a wedding on Valentine's Day. Needless to say it was perfect for the occasion. The color was so vibrant and the fabric so light and flowy. I was super comfortable all night. I ended up renting this dress about a week before the wedding, and it arrive a day early which was fantastic. I am typically a dress size 8, but my gut told me to order a size down to accommodate my smaller bust, and my gut was right! The 8 was not too big up top, but the 6 just fit so much nicer and hugged my waist right where I wanted it to. I received compliments all night long and ate them all up!! Not my first time renting, and definitely not my last. I have lots more weddings this year and can't wait to rent again!

Gorgeous dress for a black tie gala!

Size worn: 2R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

This dress was the perfect compliment to my boyfriend's tux. The red color really stands out at a black tie gala, and the material flows beautifully. The 2R was very long -- I wore 3-inch heels and it still brushed the ground. In fact that, was the only thing that was a bit troublesome and caused some minor tripping. The built-in corset was comfortable and shapely enough that I didn't need to wear a bra. (The 4R in comparison was a little looser and could have been worn with a strapless bra, but I felt the 2 stayed in place more snugly). I would definitely wear this dress again.

Very pretty dress...

Size worn: 14L

Rented for: Formal Affair

This was a very nice dress. I'm 5'8.5 and the long was perfect with about 4" heels. The dress was a little tight in the bust (38DD) which only caused an issue when zipping up the dress (I needed help!). Otherwise, I liked it because I knew that I was secure the entire night. I didn't have to worry about pulling up my dress the whole night.

American Heart Association Go Red for Women and this dress was PERFECT!!!

Size worn: 0R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

The 0R dress zipper was very difficult so I wasn't able to zip it up on my own (read this feedback so I was prepared with a 'helper'). The dress itself was PERFECT with 3-inch heels and flowed beautifully over the waist. I felt like a princess, especially with the recommended jewelry! I'm 5'4.5 and 115lbs and I easily could have worn a 2P for a little extra room (the OR was a bit snug around the ribs), but I felt like a movie star!

Beautiful dress! First but not last time renting from RTR!

Size worn: 4R

Rented for: Wedding

This dress fit very well but was too long. I'm 5'4" and wore 4 inch heels and the dress was dragging. As others have mentioned, the zipper was tricky and it took a good 5 minutes to get the dress zipped up. The dress was beautiful and I received many compliments throughout the night. Also, the dress arrived 1 day early. All around great experience!

Loved everything about this dress, super flattering!

Size worn: 4R

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Formal Affair

Pros to this dress would definitely be how flattering it was compared to other dresses I tried on. The only thing that was bad about the dress I wore was the zipper being difficult to zip up but no big deal really. The dress stayed up well all night, it was a tad bit long as I wore flats but still not too long where I was tripping over it. This was my first time ordering with RTR and I was so impressed with their customer service handling my billing problem (got charged too many times) efficiently and professionally. I received my dresses one day early and the size 4 dress I originally received was definitely not as great of quality as the other (metal clasp in back broken, not as vibrant red, and tons of noticeable snags) I called customer service on Thursday after I realized all of these issues and I had a new one the next day! So awesome, will be renting again with Rent the Runway! This dress is amazing and I hated to send it back!

He loved it and I got compliments all night!

Size worn: 6R

Rented for: Formal Affair

I got this dress for a military ball. Normally I'm between a 4-6, but I've felt like I'm carrying a fee extra pounds lately so I ordered the 6R and 8R. I'm glad I read the reviews--this dress runs long! I usually need tall/long dresses and pants because of my legs. Not this time. The dress came just short of the ground with 3.5" heels. Fit-wise, this is pretty true to size, but runs larger in the bust I think. If you have a small chest, I'd size down. The dress is a brilliant red in person that would flatter anyone, and the chiffon is lightweight but doesn't look cheap. The boning in the back poked me by the end of the night, and the zipper is tough, so be careful. I should have considered getting the 4 since I was pulling it up here and there. It's a dress that easily accommodates different body types, though, and it isn't gonna ruin everything if you wear it a tiny bit big like I did. My first order, and I'll definitely be back! The pack of gum and lotion was a cute (and practical) touch!
